both and obviously ashton carter has been receiving questions where he would be on certain policies and largely, barbara, important to note there haven't been any major fireworks. always the assumption ashton carter would get confirmed. you are right. a lot of republican members of congress and the senate including the new senate arms services committee chairman john mccain is using this as platform to be able to really put the administration's feet to the fire maybe more so than ashton carter's. >> is ashton carter's confirmation all but certain, do you think? >> i think. he he was the number two person in the defense department under gates and in the first part of president obama's term his first term in office, and there isn't any kind of recognition among republicans they want to sink this confirmation. particularly given all the challenges you mentioned earlier. >> yesterday you told us about the vote to repeal the affordable care act. want to tell us what happened? surprise. right? >> not surprisingly republicans

ended up having a 50th or 60th-some vote to repeal the affordable care act depending when you use it passed. not a surprise. republicans control the house of representatives but interesting for the first time we phleb a long time all democrats stood together. voted in opposition. a big reason a lot of moderate democrats from the south, they ended up losing their offices in the 2014 midterm elections. three republicans voted against the repeal measure. and these are moderate republicans. and they kind of see with 2016 on the horizon, they don't want to take that tough of a stance in their kind of centrist democratic areas. >> were they from states where maybe it's working? affordable care is working? >> that and a lot of democrats. one of the republicans is from maine. another new york. another from illinois. all three of those states barbara, are once in which the democratic nominee is probably decisively going to win in the 2016 presidential contest.

teach safe relations act after talking to a group at the university of virginia about sexual violence. what was the conversation you had that helped you introduce this? >> interesting, aaron. the stories that wer that are cropping up everywhere about kamps sexual assault made me look into the statistics and here's the challenge. the sexual assaults are most prevalent in the 16 to 24-year-old age range. whether on college campus or anywhere else that's the age range you're probably most at-risk. i went to the university of virginia and met with a student organization trying to deal with the sexual assault question and we met for about two or three hours and i just listened to their kearns. one of the things that one of the young ladies said was, we come to college. we've had a sex ed or health class in high school but it's a class really more reproductive biology. not safe relationshiping and appropriate behaviors. if we got a little more instruction what to do if you feel pressured or how to seek help right strat jishgs wrong

strategies we'd be better able to deal with the challenges we face when we move away from home for the first time pap great idea. we have a wonderful opportunity because we are working on the reauthorization of what's called the elementary and secondary education act right now. hadn't been reauthorized for 15 years, already has provisions in it about sex ed classes. i thought, go in and add into it a good health or sex ed class should include safe relationship strategy helping youngsters whether they go to college, into the work force, because it's that age range where the dangers are most akuncht what specifically is this bill going to call for in our public schools? >> basically it's two things. the federal government does not require that schools offer sex ed or health curriculum. that's up to them. but if they do offer the curriculum the federal statute currently says you have to teach certain kinds of teal that is age-appropriate. and i'm adding to that and one of the things you have to teach is safe relationship strategies. virginia actually already has a

law like this but many states don't. so this would create a uniform federal standard if you teach sex ed and health in high school you should teach safe relationship strategies. first. the second thing, allowing grants for pilot projects if states really want to do innovative curriculum to help kids learn about you know appropriate relationship strategies. there will be grants for states that are innovators and hopefully other states can learn from. >> i have to ask, because we know what the atmosphere is on the hill now. do you have hope that this is going to get the sort of bipartisan support it needs to actually become reality? >> i do. i feel very confident that senator alexander, lamar alexander of tennessee is leading the effort of this no child left behind statute. there is going to be a bill. seems to me this is a common sense thing we could add that will help keep young people safer, and the thing i like

about it is i put in the bill because i just was listening one day and a student had a great idea and i thought, good i'm going to take that idea and see what we can do with it. >> appreciate your time and thanks for talking to us about the bill. >> absolutely aaron. a major deal announced this morning between staples and office depot. the company taking control. plus a travel website from a kid's point of view. the local 11-year-old sharing
